Number 18 on the countdown is Angus Young. I shouldn’t have to explain who this is, but for writing’s sake, I will. Angus is the lead guitarist for AC/DC. Angus and his brother Malcom decided to form a solid rock band producing music that would withstand time. AC/DC played their very first show in 1973, and have been going strong ever since.

Angus is small in stature, standing only five-foot-two; however, he is a powerhouse when performing and his talent is off the charts.

I had the pleasure of going to an AC/DC concert myself. I saw the “Thunderstruck” tour in 2000 at the Mississippi Coast Coliseum; and it was hands down the best concert I’ve ever been to. Angus wore his schoolboy uniform, of course, which he has worn onstage ever since attending a band practice, wearing it in the very early days of the band. He also did his infamous “duck walk” that he is said to have adapted from James Brown.

Aside from his outfit and the “walk”, Young’s entire performance was purely electric from the first song to the last. That’s why I believe Angus’s vigor is one of his most beautiful qualities. One could never watch him perform and not feel his intensity.

AC/DC will be on their “Rock Or Bust” world tour this year, beginning this month where they will be playing Coachella in Indio, CA.

Thank you Angus Young, for your vigorous performances and your contribution to timeless rock and roll.
